Power & Wildlife

How do power plants help wildlife?

Xcel Energy works to protect valuable habitat for wildlife and waterfowl. We try to protect birds from our equipment, set aside land and work with conservation groups and the government to protect many species.

See how power companies can help to protect birds and other wildlife. Learn how the peregrine falcon and other endangered birds live and raise their young. If it’s nesting season, don’t miss a look inside the nest by clicking on our link to the incredibly popular Bird Cams.

Would you like to peek into a nest? You can with our Bird Cams. The nests are quiet during most of the year. But February through June is a busy time. It’s nesting season. During that time, the cameras let you watch falcons, eagles, owls and other birds build their nests, hatch their eggs, and raise their babies. Just click Bird Cam during nesting season and see!
